You think your parents gave you a strange name? Try being born to a rock star. It seems like strange names are just part
of what you have to put up with. The most memorable of course would have to be Moon Unit for the daughter of the late great Frank Zappa.

I hope they didn't get the BBC children's series 'The Herbs' in the US, otherwise Ryo's son would be pestered by kids singing 'I'm a very fat feathery owl called Sage'- as in Sage the owl from the show!

I often get comments on my unique name - everyone loves it! The only problem is people don't know how it is pronounced - FAN-GEE-TA...so most people just call me Fanny which i love! Samuel Jordan's not so weird i guess...x

Daughter of singer/actress Vanessa Lynn Williams and NBA player Rick Fox. Beautiful; absolute favorite name right now for a girl or boy. Nickname for Alexander in Russia: of Greek origin, meaning "defender of mankind, warrior." Unusual name outside U.S. but quickly gaining popularity. I have always been grateful to have been given a name that, like Sasha, stands out with its uniqueness, has a powerful redeeming worthy of the bearer's aspiration, and a pleasing aesthetic value of a sound one never gets tired of hearing or pronouncing.

Supposedly, Erykah named her son Seven because of the fact that it's a number that can be divided by nothing but itself. Pretty heady, but it does give you something to chew on.

Eric Andrews

Seven

Eryka Badu and Andre 3000

I bet they got it from that Seinfeld episode.(George has always wanted to name his kid Seven, but Susan refuses to name any future kids Seven, and in the end this couple steals it) I've always wanted to name my kid Seven after watching that episode. I actually just came to this page to see if anybody had named their kid Seven xD

There are a LOT of names on this list that aren't strange/unusual. Maybe a few of you should walk out of your neighborhoods every now and then. Seven, however, isn't common. BROOKLYN, DESTINY, HOPE, AND INDIA are all pretty normal, as well as a few other names I saw.

Why does he hate his girls so much that he gave them such awful names such as, skylor and Maclay.

Ellie

Slade

Natalie Maines

Slade is the other brother of Beckett, also a boy.

Country

Sonata, Lyric, and Dorian

Gene Randolph

Gene is a terrific drummer/percussionist who has performed in many musical environments, from TV to clubs, working with the likes of Yusef Lateef, "Hines, Hines, and Dad", the Saints of Swing, Murali Coryell, Robert Merrill, Shlomo Carlbach, the Hudson Valley Philharmonic, and so many others too numerous to mention.

Sophie is not after Sophie Tucker like many people think; it's a derivative of the Greek root meaning wisdom. Bette says that when Sophie was born she looked at the world like she had seen it all before. Frederica is after Bette's father Fred. Alohilani means bright sky in Hawaiian, Bette's childhood home. Von Haselberg is her German-born father's name.

What can I say? John's from Indiana. Enough said. And remember in the 80's John went by "John Cougar Mellencamp" Looks like he's got a thing for 4-legged animals that can run fast. [Ed.'s note: As a 20+ year Hoosier, I can say the majority of Indiana natives DO NOT have weird names. And that John went by "John Cougar" circa 1978.]

Stephanie Rose - mother's middle name is Rose. Jesse James Louis - Jon had an obsession with the Wild West. Jacob Hurley - mother's maiden name was Hurley Romeo Jon - obv named after his father. They thought Romeo was romantic.

A fictional child supposedly borne by Manson's mistress, Ms. Dita von Teese. Ms. von Teese doesn't have any kids, therefore Suicideika does not exist. Manson has said that he would like to be a father, but doesn't feel that he is ready yet. (He's about 37, he'd better hurry up.)

LadyGaladriel

Suicideika

Marlyn Manson

Why would you go as far as naming your kid something with Suicide in it!?!? That's sick and twisted. No kid should have to live through torture of getting picked on for the name Suicideika. (Editor's note: What did you expect from someone who studies Satanism?!!

I think there are actually laws that prevent people from giving children names like this (seriously). Also, I don't believe this child actually exists. Who is her mother and when was she born?

Maggie

Sunday Rose Kidman Urban

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman

Huh? What could they have been thinking? I like Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, but that first name is seriously awful. And why does she need to have both of her parents' last names? Like people aren't going to know that her mom is Nicole Kidman? She's going to be in the tabloids her whole life anyway. Poor kid. Why in the world anyone would name their child after a day of the week is beyond me.

Why? Is it just me or does the father have some kind of obsession with naming all of his kids similar? His first two children's names start with K. Why do these kids have to have the same initials as each other? Not very clever.

I think that is such a pretty name for a little girl. My friend's name is Sarai, but it's pronounced (suh-rye-uh). It means 'princess' no matter how you spell it. I'm naming my future child that as well.
